About this Location

Facility Overview

The facility located at 2401 Comanche Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107, primarily serves as a dedicated logistics and customer support site for UPS operations. While commonly referred to in local directories as a 'UPS Customer Center' or 'Guard Shack,' it is a specialized operational hub rather than a general-purpose public parking garage. The site features an open-air surface lot layout designed to accommodate standard courier vehicles, delivery trucks, and customer transit. Because this is a high-traffic industrial logistics environment, visitors should expect wide-open navigation paths suitable for full-size SUVs and pickup trucks; however, there is no covered or underground parking available. The area is generally well-paved to support heavy-duty vehicle movement.
